About This Thread
DMC Mouliné Stranded Cotton is the world's best-selling embroidery thread, trusted by stitchers since 1746. Every 8-metre skein contains 6 easily separated strands so you can customise thickness — use all 6 for bold, dense coverage, or work with a single strand for fine shading and intricate detail.
Colour 498 — Dark Red
This vibrant, vivid red sits beautifully within the reds and corals range. It pairs naturally with neighbouring DMC shades for gradient blending, and creates striking contrast against complementary colours. Ideal for Christmas designs, roses and poppies, hearts and valentine motifs, and folk art and florals.
